The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 208 Midnight Assassination

"Hmm?" Derek blinked in surprise and continued, “I'm not very familiar, but I have a general understanding. They're involved in various industries. Why do you ask?"

"Arrange a team to conduct a thorough analysis of their core industries. See if there are any industries that complement World Group's operations. Keep an eye on them and be prepared for potential mergers and acquisitions." Billy instructed.

Sucking in a breath, Derek was taken aback. "Does Mr Gardner mean that he was preparing to take action against the Leonard aristocratic clan? That would be a massive move!" he thought.

After steadying his emotions, Derek nodded firmly. “I'll make arrangements tomorrow."

"Good." Billy nodded in agreement. He was well aware that the matter between him and the Leonards wasn't over. Aristocratic clans had an innate sense of superiority and were not tolerant of challenges from outsiders. The previous incident involving Alvin Leonard had caused the Leonards to lose face, and they wouldn't let it go easily. For him, this was a perfect opportunity to formally declare war on the clan. Thus, he had been waiting for the Leonards to make the first move.

"Mr Gardner, have something to eat while I brief a few executives." after chatting for a while longer, Derek suggested.

"Go ahead.” Billy nodded slightly.

Time passed quickly.

Two hours flew by in the blink of an eye, and the banquet was coming to an end. After bidding farewell to the guests, Billy and his group left first.

"Dear, be honest with me. Is there any particular reason behind Mr Hines appointing me as the President?" Harleen asked as they arrived in the lobby.

Given her intelligence, after calming down a bit, she realized that the matter was likely not as simple as Derek had explained. She was just a marketing director at SunPark Group, and even though she had achieved some results recently, it wasn't enough to justify placing such a massive corporation under her responsibility. The only explanation was that someone was supporting her, and aside from her husband Billy, there couldn't be anyone else!
